Who cares anymore? I was here for the very first "Trump achieves lowest approval rating" story and they just keep coming. More and more of them. It's become meaningless.

It’s the whole messaging in media in general. 3 good examples of this: Meidastouch, David Parkman and Brain Tyler Cohen.

Everyday it’s “Trump receives major blowback in stunning court order that he can’t recover from”. Or similar headlines. Meanwhile shit just steadily continues to chug along shitcreeck. At some point saying things like that loses its meaning.

The messaging should read “US empire crumbles and takes the rest of the world with it” that should be a bit more trustworthy and correct.

Yeah, poll ratings are pretty useless when we are talking about dictators. That is the main thing about them being dictators.
